...like today's birthday girl, our Patron Saint of Marabou, Dame Shirley Bassey!
"I'm too busy putting my energies into my performance to be a diva."
Dame Shirley Veronica Bassey DBE (born 8th January 1937)
CAMP: "A cornucopia of frivolity, incongruity, theatricality, and humour." "A deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavored, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love." "The lie that tells the truth." "Ostentatious, exaggerated, affected, theatrical; effeminate or homosexual; pertaining to or characteristic of homosexuals."
